It was a freak injury, but tied together with an aging player who doesn't have a winning personality, he just doesn't offer the same reward to make it worth it. I wanted Dez last season. This season, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyst Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Except for the damn D-line (and that only happened recently), why the EFF are we so talentless/thin in almost every position. Like WTF have these guys been doing during the draft and free agency over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 My God didn't realise Trent Williams has had surgery/a major health scare, all now ok by the sounds on things but didn't sound great for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like WTF have these guys been doing during the draft and free agency over the years. picking players who've gotten hurt or had something wrong with them. For example at WR this year even if we don't draft one, we're going in with three guys who are borderline rookies drafted or signed as UDFA cause they were hurt or just spent all their time on the PS, Trey Quinn, Robert Davis, Cam Sims and Darvin Kidsey.

WelshSkinsFan Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I wouldn't say we are talentless/thin in almost very position. We have a glaring need at WR, mostly because to date Doctson has not panned out and Richardson has been hurt. Most of our position groups are solid and some have real upside such as our RB group. We can improve almost every group but that is true of most teams in the league, we have actually drafted pretty well the last few years and I don't hate our FA pick ups. With 4 picks in the first 3 rounds we are in decent shape to add some starting talent there and we often seem to be players in the post draft free agency, scooping up one or two late cuts.

Burgold Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 It's weird. From one perspective, tight end is pretty rich and deep with Reed, Davis, and Sprinkle. From another, Reed is an expensive, injury prone player, Davis is ancient, and Sprinkle has flashed, but is mostly an unknown. The offensive line when healthy is 4/5 very good, but lacks depth and is fragile as a piece of ceramics. The D Line, as mentioned above, is young, deep, and talented. We might also be pretty deep at linebacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might also be pretty deep at linebacker. Yeah, absolutely. Even running back with Guice coming off injury, Thompson fragile and AP old - it’s a good group talent-wise, but shaky for the above reasons. If I were to boil down our major problems (leaving off qb), it’s A. injury issues amongst starters, and B. guys that have shown some promise but we don’t know if they’ll take the next step. A. Reed, Thompson, Richardson, Guice, Williams, Moses, Quinn, Scherff B. Anderson, SDH, Nicholson, Roullier, Stroman, Moreau, maybe Dunbar. And of course, the guys that fit in both categories - like Cam Sims and Robert Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSSkinz Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Quinn has to prove he can stay healthy enough to play, the guy plays a game and then he's out for the next 8 or 9, we cant rely on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyvern Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I note the Titans starting LG, Quinten Spain got signed by Buffalo. Looks like the Skins FO is sleeping through the remainder of free agency and is pinning its O-line hopes on a reclamation project (Flowers), or m-a-y-b-e a low-round draft-pick who they figure they can plug&play at a key position. I really don't understand this Front Office at all. They've created so much pressure on themselves to have a perfect draft to solve everyone of their existing roster problems. And by continuing to fail to be serious about their O-line short-falls, they're probably hamstringing their running game and putting even more pressure on their weak/under-performing receiving corps. No decent offensive power means the games will be ugly to watch, even if the Skins manage to occasionally limp through for a win in a low-scoring game. I'll bide my time to see how the draft unfolds -- but the Skins 2019 off-season efforts do not give me much confidence. Looks like Allen is planning to load up on waiver-wire cuts again and then claim he's built a championship roster 😑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
